Benefits of technology

This method ensures reliable catalyst warm-up regardless of battery SOC, minimizes driver discomfort by completing warm-up before SOC control, and reduces battery burden by optimizing engine operation within proper noise and efficiency regions.

Problems solved by technology

However, even when the catalyst is warmed up by the engine of which the target revolution speed is limited as described above, it may take time until temperature for activating the catalyst is reached.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]Hereinafter, an embodiment of the invention is described with reference to the drawings.

[0014][Configuration of Hybrid Vehicle]

[0015]FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a hybrid vehicle to which the embodiment is applied. The hybrid vehicle to which the embodiment is applied includes an engine 1, a generator 2, a battery 3, an electric motor 4, wheels 6 (driving wheels), and a motor controller 7 that controls the electric motor 4.

[0016]In the hybrid vehicle, the wheels 6 are not driven by the engine 1 but by electric power supplied from the battery 3. Since the engine 1, the battery 3, and the wheels 6 are connected in series (series connection), the hybrid vehicle is referred to as a series hybrid car.

[0017]The engine 1 is mechanically connected to the generator 2 through a speed reducer (not shown). The generator 2 is connected to the battery 3 so that electric power transmission and reception are enabled. It is possible to transmit and receive electric powe...

Abstract

A catalyst warm-up control method for a hybrid vehicle includes a battery supplying electric power to an electric motor, the battery is charged by an engine for electric power generation, and exhaust gas discharged from the engine 1 is treated by a catalyst. By the catalyst warm-up control method, when temperature of the catalyst is lower than required warm-up temperature for activating the catalyst, target revolution speed and target torque of the engine are controlled based on a state of charge of the battery, and, when target revolution speed is lower than lower-limit revolution speed at which the catalyst can be heated to the required warm-up temperature, the target revolution speed is controlled so as to be required warm-up revolution speed that is equal to or higher than the lower-limit revolution speed.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a catalyst warm-up control method for a hybrid vehicle and a catalyst warm-up control device for a hybrid vehicle.BACKGROUND ART[0002]In a hybrid vehicle, when exhaust gas purifying performance is deteriorated as temperature of a catalyst attached to an exhaust system of an engine falls due to continuation of engine stoppage, continuation of engine motoring, or the like, the engine is operated and combusted so as to generate electric power for catalyst warm-up (see Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2017-128212).[0003]Here, when electric power is generated by using the engine, the engine is set to optimization revolution speed and optimization torque at which fuel consumption efficiency of the engine gets the highest. As a result, a battery is charged by optimization generated electric power that is generated based on the optimization revolution speed and the optimization torque, and exhaust gas discharged in ...
